The petitioners, Fivebro Water Services Pvt Ltd & Anr., filed a petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, challenging an order dated 21.06.2024 passed by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad Bench, in I.A. No. 63 of 2022 and I.A. No. 94 of 2022 in C.P. (IB) No. 59 of 2019. The NCLT order directed the petitioners to vacate premises, pay arrears of rent, and hand over possession to the respondent No.1-Liquidator.
